Material Locking

Hi,
When i tried to upload material master data through Idoc (ARTMAS). But i am getting the following error
*If the field is the material group or unit of weight, and the field is
not ready for input, check whether the material is locked. If it is
locked, you cannot extend the Purchasing view or the Sales view. If
either of these views needs to be extended, the material must first be
unlocked. This can be done only by a user with special authorization.
Contact your system administrator.*
i have the checked the configuration for "Define Lock-relevant charecteristics" all the fields are unlocked. still i am getting the same error.
can someone pls help me??
thanks
maniraj

check the material master for locks.
If you have the necessary authorization, the option Lock material (or exceptionally Unlock material) appears in the status bar in material master maintenance. A material that has been locked is indicated to all users by the icon Material is locked. It is also possible for all users to display which fields have been locked.
maybe you had customizing in place, then locked the fields in a material master, and later removed customizing.
you have to have authorization for authorization object M_MATE_MAF to unlock the locked fields in MM02.

Any Material locked for transactions due to errors in Material Ledger?

We are implementing Material Ledger for actual costing purpose. After ML implemention, will there be any situation due to errors in costing run, or otherwise, that the material is locked for any further transaction? Is such kind of threat exists under any situation?
Sanjay

Dear Sanjay,
I don't think you will face any problem after succesfully completion of actual cost run.
Situation can be totally opposite...I mean to say while costing run you might face problem of material locking.
There could be problem if transaction in material is happening and same time cost run is going on. or if cost run is going on and the same time somebody is trying any transaction.
It is always suggested to run cost cycle in the night or lock the user id's while cost run.

Regardig material locking by another user

Dear Friend,
when i have done production entry by mfbf at that time there is another user for same material then there is error shown that material locked by that user
is there is any customising to eliminate this type of situation
at time of entry also to reduce time entry time
i know SM12 but my user have not authorisation of that t/code
thanks in advance
regards,
nil

Dear,
Checck the settings in transaction OMT0.
This controls the lock used on materials. It can sometimes be set to be TOO safe and therefore lock everyone when it is not necessary.
There are different ways to do this.
1. First request user to logoff and try login again.
2. Check SM04 list and run session for that user.
3. Try to delete lock , SM12 transaction.
OR,
Go to SM50, Select the process.
Go to menu Program/Session>Program>Cancel.

How to handel material locking in WM

Dear Experts
Our warehouse is managed by warehouse management and we face a problem when one of the stock keepers post goods issue with reference to sales order from the warehouse while another on is performing a goods receipt at the same time and the same batch the system issue the following message
Batch xxx of material y is already locked by user
Message no. M3682
Diagnosis
You want to process a batch that is already being processed by another user.
System Response
A batch cannot be processed by more than one user at the same time. To prevent data inconsistencies, the batch record is locked for processing.
And this locking cause a delay to our work
So is there any way to solve this problem in the warehouse management so that the 2 stock keepers can do their work in the same time without locking
Best Regards

you check Note: 1949813 for Message M3682 "Batch & of material & is already locked by &" in transaction MIGO, VL32N and VL02N.
Solution:
Both BAdIs have to be implemented and must be active
BADI MATERIAL_READ method LOCK_BATCH_MASTER
BADI BATCH_MASTER method LOCK_BATCH_MASTER_IN_MIGO
Step 1:
go to OMJI to Activate late lock for goods movement
step 2 assign Methods
Activate BADI BATCH_MASTER for method LOCK_BATCH_MASTER_IN_MIGO
method IF_EX_BATCH_MASTER~LOCK_BATCH_MASTER_IN_MIGO.
C_LOCK_MODE = 'S'.
endmethod.
Step 3:
go to SE18 Activate BADI MATERIAL_READ for method LOCK_BATCH_MASTER
after that test 3 user make goods movement for the same batch, same plant and in the same time you can post goods movement Successfully.
Test Goods movement through MIGO, VL32N and VL02N, all user post Successfully.

Material Lock - Reg

Hello Mates.,
how to find a material is locked or not that is material used by another user or any other transcation.
This is because i am writing BDC for co11n where there is requirement of above mentioned case .
while making entrying the manual production order confirmation error is getting triggered - Material is locked.
Regards,
Murugesh R

Hi,
Check whether the material is locked by the lock object.
Call the function module ENQUEUE_EMMARAS with the material number.
Incase the material is locked by some user you will get the error message from the FM.

COGI error, material locked on user name.

Hello,
I have a problem regarding COGI error.
User was working on the COGI and system gets hanged. He restarted the system and again start working on COGI transaction.
But there was error for one line item is "The plant data of the material XXXX is locked by the user ABC".
I have deleted locked entries (with user name) by the transaction code SM12. But still COGI report shwos ths message.
Thanks to give me solution for this.

Do not delete the COGI entry, this is the very last option you should use.
The error messages is COGI indicate the error that occurred when the automatic goods movement failed. The error message is historical, it does not change when you reopen COGI. Select the COGI line and then select "save", this will try to reprocess the goods movement, if the material is not locked anymore the goods movement will process, else another error will occur.

Material locked after using IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS

Hi All
I have a program which uses function IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS for creating/changing material. After that it also tries to update "Legal Control" using a BDC on MM02 but then I get message M3 022 (Group data for material xxx locked by xxx). It looks like the function is not unlocking tables MARA and MBEW (I can see this on SM12).
I have already searched over the internet, SDN and services.sap but no luck so far.
Anyone has an idea about what could be wrong?
Best Regards,
Douglas

Hi
I can see that are locks for 4 tables:
MARA
MBEW
MARC
MVKE
Messages can be M3 022 (for MBEW) and M3 897 (for MARC).

Material Locked "MC601"

Hi,
I am getting a message of MC601, when multiple users are working with the same material. How to make this warning message?
Please suggest...
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi
Indicates whether, during the availability check, the material is blocked for other users. The block remains until the transaction responsible has been saved. It is set at material-plant level.
If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot:
Make changes in the material master record
Create purchase orders for the material
Create orders for the material
If you do not select this field, the material is not blocked during the availability check. In this case, if many users are simultaneously checking availability, the results of the checks may not be reliable.
Thanks.

How to check for locks on a material - without using Enqueue function

Hi
We have a requirement in which - we need to check the lock ( exclusive ) on a material before we call the BAPI to update the material.
I don't want to actually lock the material before calling the BAPI - the BAPI itself acquires the lock as a part of its processing. All I want to do is to check whether lock on a material exists before calling the BAPI - thus avoiding any lock related issues on the material in the BAPI call.
How do we just merely check whether material is locked - any standard function module /SAP tables where in material lock is stored that we use/interrogate ?
Correct answers will be promptly rewarded.

Hi ,
There is standard function enqueue_read ,based on material number .
Pass the material number to FM ENQUEUE_READ if sy-subrc = 0 then material is locked otherwise not .
Please reward if useful.

"Material is configurable" indicator in material master record

Hallo, SAP gurus!
I have a problem:
in my SAP system there is a material whose indicator "material is configurable" is set. Due to this I cannot hold calculations of this material on. How can I clear this indicator(it's grayed and I can't modify it)?
I experimented with BOMs for this material and tried to create several BOMs and I managed as I understand. Probably this could influence setting "material is configurable" flag. Because I could hold calculations on this material before.
Need help!
Thanks!

Hi
firstly unlock the material in mm02--> basic data 1 you have a small lock on top along with additional data and other tabs when you click on that it will unlock and then you can change it also do get in to img - logistic general- material master--field selection--- define lock relevant keys
here go to config management and material lock check the or uncheck the relevant fields
thanks
